[@dexenationgracey1979]

You really hit the nail on the head about having a decent teacher, it just makes it harder for younger techs to get in the field and keep the trades alive.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I'm doing my best to help, I'm trying to leave this field better than I find it. It may not be a big difference but I'm trying.

[@dexenationgracey1979]

@@HVACRSurvival I hope I don't come across as bitter since I am one of those younger techs.

Rick your a hell of a good mechanic. All your vids have a wealth of great information for us techs in the HVACR trade. Thanks Man.

I really appreciate you letting me know that it's helping you out. That means a lot! Thanks Dave🤜🤛👍👍

Would love to see more supermarket refrigeration videos. Been in the field for almost 4 years and just went to a company who does a lot of Supermarket refrigeration and trying to adapt to it.

[@ronchambers9762]

Awesome Job Mr. Rick. That rack refrigeration is crazy complicated and complex. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@koreylee611]

Love these big commercial rack systems!. Will be waiting for the follow up

[@nickcampbell8096]

Nice job Rick, I love the rack videos. Not a lot of people post stuff on supermarket refrigeration

[@aaronward7526]

This is my happy place. Get me in a rack room over any geothermal resi stuff anyday.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I like it a lot better but it's a learning cure for sure.

[@richseahag4980]

I learn a lot from your video’s. Basically how much of a hack I am. That said like you I work on everything but residential refrigerator’s.

you are the man I could learn a magnitude of information from you, HVAC only guy always wanted to learn refrigeration did a small amount that was it. just enough to get In TROUBLE great video

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks Fred, check out my other videos, I have over 250

[@veil67]

Great job to find the leak and bypass the problem until you are ready to make the repairs , hopefully the other store was not to complicated to fix it also

[@HVACRSurvival]

I got lucky, they pulled the product by the time I called them and they said I could wait till Monday 😁🙏

[@PuddinJr1993]

I spent 10 years in industrial ammonia with steel pipe much larger but I've never seen anything with copper that size

[@14312KIDS]

Good job on that one. I dislike racks. They always call on fridays and weekends on problems that has been noticed for days.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Your absolutely correct

[@tbelding]

Welcome to the IT world. "We need this fixed by Monday." "When did it start?" "Wednesday". "Why didn't you call me?" "Because it would be inconvenient to be down on Thursday or Friday."

[@MrWilliamsHere]

Thanks for sharing, Love the different content.

[@johnwalker890]

Great job Rick, You better tell your furnace to stop screwing with you, just kidding.

[@HVACRSurvival]

We had a talk..lol

[@jamesmooney5348]

I never seen refrigerant in a tank like that before or a hose like that! Wow!

[@HVACRSurvival]

Lots of new things to show my viewers.

[@publicmail2]

My local wal mart lost entire HVAC refrigerant cooling line and lost entire freezer and fridge supply twice. What line would take down entire store or at least 80-90%, empty shelves? Was surprised to see 1 failure take almost all down.

[@zekemontgomery6678]

Worked on so many of these. Lol guaranteed ot

Excellent Video Rick . Good diagnostic techniques as well.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@donaldpainter956]

Late night or weekend calls if it's low and not out I'll add freon and have the office schedule a leak search for regular hours when I tell the customer it will be cheaper for them that way they are good with it

[@HVACRSurvival]

I hear you, I'm still learning what I can and can't get away with. I have a judgmental overseer

Great work Rick

Nice job Rick. Learning a lot thank you.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks Steven👍👍

[@user-ge5le4ku6j]

what is your leak detector brand? thanks

[@arthouston7361]

That looks like a new Hussman rack...so why are those compressor conductors resting on a metal enclosure like that? Is that how they are coming from the factory????

[@HVACRSurvival]

Yep, that's a poor design flow but these were done in 2013.

[@andrewmcdonald4519]

Thank your lucky stars someone put some isolation valves in

[@HVACRSurvival]

True👍👍

[@garyglenn1445]

[@roceloi]

Manufactures please, put protection into the wires.... always making shorts only for not using a second layer of insulation on the wires...

[@codykeith876]

Great job buddy

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks Cody!

[@EverythingHVACR]

Why fix the future issue on the other 9 compressors when the first one shorts 😆, job security. Nice job Rick!

[@HVACRSurvival]

🤣 I wanted to fix the remaining racks but I let them go.

[@tbelding]

@@HVACRSurvival - Grab one of the small tubes of non-acid 30 minute set caulk. Silicone or latex, doesn't matter. Hit a problem like this, move the wires, slap a bead on the areas, work on something else for the 30 minutes, then let the wires drop back into position. You can use it for other jobs, like sealing those stupid holes in the TOP of devices that people leave behind. (I'm currently looking at an LED sign where they caulked the front of a sign, but not the back - and the power block is on the BOTTOM, where the water will trickle. Oh, yes - and they didn't slide the frame fully into place before caulking, so there's an 1/8th or so inch gap on one side)

[@hvacrnortheastern2110]

Great job they do have a rebuild kit for that 3 way valve it’s a old style hopefullyI . I hated Hussman protocol no room to work when you work on a regular rack.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I got it on my truck to be done next week. It's just a rubber o-ring and a metal seal

[@dunnar90]

It looks like that surge protector "blew chunks." What brand of surge protectors were those? I usually see those SC69s on the old commercial units I work with.

[@HVACRSurvival]

If I'm following what you're asking, those things that the wire keeps shorting into was oil pressure safety's

[@throttlebottle5906]

it's a miracle all the food in USA isn't rotten at once.. all the junk technology and magical "fap-fap" recovery cruft. 🤣

[@805HVACR]

Hussmann impact coils woo hoo. That’s all a basically work on. Did they have non adjustable TXVs? Those protocol racks leak a lot due to vibration, the racks that take the cake are Hussmann SUPER +

[@HVACRSurvival]

I believe they are adjustable txv's

[@davids.3724]

We have so many hussman super plus we work on still running old comtrol controls a couple have newer style danfoss but geez

[@sterlingarcher46]

And Rick , are you using Channel locks on shut-off valves again ? Uuughhh 😆

[@HVACRSurvival]

I'm gonna fly over and drop a turd on your head😁

[@throttlebottle5906]

yeah, what he said. 🥳

[@eunachooo]

those 3 way valves always leak there. also you can just add gas at a C case suction

[@HVACRSurvival]

That was the suction at the C rack. I found out latter there is a whole I send my hose up thru the floor with the suction line. Those are the little things that I never get told. I think that's why they hate me making these videos.

[@timr4362]

If you hit ALT ÷ ? That will bring up your quick menu on the E2

[@HVACRSurvival]

[@coreybabcock2023]

I would zip tie those wires up so they don't rub out on something again

[@thepubliceye]

Is this system monitored online?

[@HVACRSurvival]

It can be remote controlled, usually the store calls us then we log in.

[@SovereignTroll]

I always had a edge, taking home manuals and packaged literature and memorizing then not having to waste time on customer support. Your work associates are not your friends in little family companies.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I think I'm following what you're saying. Very few people are willing to share any information to help others.

[@SovereignTroll]

Being on customer support is WORSE than an additional call to go to and unrewarding...

[@ic0nflash714]

E2 controllers are very complex, lots of short cuts. Alt+ pretty much anything will short cut you anywhere.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I just learned a couple of them thanks to Brett at the advanced refrigeration podcast.
